Who Is the Greatest?
1 1At that time the disciples came to Jesus, saying, “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? ”
2
And calling to him a child, he put him in the midst of them
3
and said, “Truly, I say to you, unless you
2turn and
3become like children, you
4will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
4
5Whoever humbles himself like this child is the
6greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5
7“Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me,
6
but
8whoever causes one of these
9little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened around his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.
Temptations to Sin
7 “Woe to the world for
10temptations to sin!
11For it is necessary that temptations come,
12but woe to the one by whom the temptation comes!
8
13And if your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life crippled or lame than with two hands or two feet to be thrown into
14the eternal fire.
